• What is DORN SPINAL THERAPY?
  • It is the number 1 back pain treatment in Europe used by doctors, naturopaths and physiotherapists finally available in Australia for those suffering from back pain and for those wanting to become certified practitioners.
  • A gentle spinal and joint treatment to work with back problems, joint problems, organ problems and headaches caused by a wrongly placed vertebra or different leg length.
  • A non manipulative treatment as joints and vertebrae slip back to their right and natural position through self determined movements of the patients.
  • A low repetitive therapy as often with the alignment of just a single vertebra and the balancing of the leg length the patient will get relief from back or neck pain or headaches and related discomforts.
  • An understanding that bases on the connection of the spinal column with certain meridians, organs and thought patterns.
  • A holistic concept, as other areas of pain often can get relief as well by working on the meridian and nerve system of the body.
  • An opportunity for many cases of so far unsuccessfully treated back and neck problems.
  • A treatment you should consider before opting for disc surgery, spinal fusion surgery or any other final surgery on your back.
• How does DORN SPINAL THERAPY work?
  • Gentle, simple, sensible, effective and innocuous.
  • No medication.
  • No damages whatsoever in treatments history (30 years in Germany)!
  • Movement is a fundamental element in the treatment. All corrections happen in dynamics, the patient is swinging either his leg, arm or moving his head, depending on the area the therapist is working on. The movement distracts the muscles so they can´t resist the correction. This specialty makes the treatment a gentle therapy.
  • By aligning the structural body often muscle tension is released as well as muscles are moving into their correct, relaxed position. That way a sore upper or lower trapezius can be relieved by aligning the upper or lower cervical spine. Lower back pain or sciatic pain can be relieved by balancing different long legs.
  • The treatment kick starts the bodies own healing process. So it is not about the practitioner fixing the problem but the body starting to work with the new information, set through the treatment.
  • Finding tender points in the body, without you even knowing you had them, and working on them will potentially speed the healing process, which is why so few treatments are needed.
• How will DORN SPINAL THERAPY help you?
  • Immediately effective in many cases.
  • Value for money as rarely more than three to four treatments are necessary to get long to everlasting results.
  • Hardly any pain during the treatment. As pain threshold is vital information of your body to stop movement we never go beyond it. Pain can´t be avoided completely but as soon as it is too much the therapist stops working on that particular part. The work then continues at a later time.
  • Even the most serious chronic cases often get fast relive – see more testimonials.
  • Perfect for prevention of back problems in kids and young adults.
  • Even suitable for chronic pain conditions as it takes a different approach to the body than most other therapies.
  • Other than chiropractic adjustments Dorn Spinal Therapy does not use sudden movements but works with constant movement of the client which means that the client is vital part of the treatment and feels more responsible in their own aftercare, meaning taking the exercises more serious. That again helps to speed up the healing process.
• How can DORN SPINAL THERAPY help your children?
  • A fantastic technique to balance leg length differences in children before they even create problems for their hips and ultimately backs.
  • Even babies can be looked at and treated without any negative side effects.
  • Regular checkups in children and adolescents help prevent or treat the negative side effects of heavy schoolbags and long hours in "cool postures" or in front of computers.
  • Easy exercises make it more likely for your teenagers to look after themselves.
  • Basic techniques can be learned by the parent so they can look after their children themselves and don’t need to consult a practitioner that often.
